Interesting position for the "media" to take about their own right to say what they want.

and start with Cheney for his foul language inside our hallowed Capitol!

"Singing while Black"

Get me a warrant for Jesse Jacksons arrest!

Wait, cancel that. We don't need warrants anymore!

He probably doesn't even understand the charges. The kid was charged with disturbing the peace, a highly suspect charge in this case. That doesn't come close to applying to people recording in studios.

You want to start arresting people for saying obscene things in public, you'd have to start by arresting all of Fox "News".

The equivalence of this kid being arrested for singing "motherfucker" in public would not be arresting artists for recording such a song, but rather arresting radio station djs for playing it.

Which is fine, really. It would be amusing to watch them taser Mel Gibson until he babbles in Aramaic.

that hates America's freedom. Why are these people as common as dirt? Are they allied with the terrorists that hate America's freedom?

that prospective employees first have to fail an IQ test? Where do they find these idiots?

I remember the first time I heard profanity in a song. I was 13 and it was John Lennon's "Working Class Hero." I remember thinking "I didn't know they could do that" and it was a wonderful feeling to have this song that my parents knew nothing about. Of course this was 1970.

Poor John Gibson. Life must be so difficult for him.

Which is more offensive? The use of profanity in an (arguably) artistic context? Or advocating the suspension of the most basic of Constitutional rights by an (arguably) "serious" journalist because he doesn't find that art particularly to his liking?

That if the mere use of a vulgarity is so offensive to the public welfare as to constitute a crime, what about all those idiots who drive down the freeway at night with their brights on?

Can we just shoot them on sight?

Actually, Gibson's so-called "apology" for his very unfunny and plain stupid remarks regarding Ledger's death was the now standard "non-apology-apology" employed so often in politics and elsewhere these days...where the transgressor essentially refrains from saying, with clear contrition, "I apologize for what I said," but, rather, "I apologize that some people [who are overly sensitive] took offense at my comments [made in the spirit of jest]."

what about all those idiots who drive down the freeway at night with their brights on?

Can we just shoot them on sight?

You know, you can. The irony is that their brights will have blinded you and you won't be able to see well enough to shoot them.

Tricky bastards.

I can understand why the kid plead the case, since he probably had no good representation and probation looks easy and a trial carries a lot of risk.

Still, this young man now has a record which will be dredged up should he ever catch a case, even for simple possession of MJ for example, to make the penalties on that case much tougher (after all, society already tried probation to straighten him out).

The cops and DAs in that case should be dragged into the street and horsewhipped as an example to other cop and DA motherfuckers out there who would bring a similar case.

"Hey - let's make certain forms of artistic expression, illegal." Once again, the right-wing loonies expose themselves as the true fascists they are. It all starts with the demonizing of the term 'politically correct'. After all, why should they have to treat people with the respect and dignity that they seem to be entitled to?

But let's look on the bright side, the more they keep yapping their insignificant mouths, the more people will realize just how un American and pro-Mussolini these idiots are, and they will continue to shrink until they have the significance of an insecure chihuahua.

Somebody get Gibson and those other pinheads at Fox some Cialis. Maybe that will bring a little 'balance' to their lives.

I can just see Gibson and Hannity now... sitting outdoors, in their respective bathtubs, holding hands...
